Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 1935 is also IC 2126, which see. It is a small but bright HII region in the LMC, found by JH, who measured it in four sweeps, and also sketched it. He noted it as part of a group of nebulae and clusters; the others are NGC 1929, NGC 1934 (which see for more on the star cloud enveloping these objects), NGC 1936, and NGC 1937.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 1935 24" (4/7/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this emission glow forms the NW pair with NGC 1936 in a very striking field of clusters and HII patches (part of stellar association LH 47). At 200x and UHC filter it appeared as a very bright, round glow of uniform high surface brightness. The size is slightly smaller than NGC 1936, perhaps 45"-50" in diameter. Good response to the UHC filter. Nebulosity also extends off to the NW of NGC 1935 and a locally brighter patch (NGC 1934) involves a couple of brighter stars. Superimposed on this entire complex of HII knots is a rich concentration of stars (S-L 417 = KMHK 822). As John Herschel described NGC 1935 on one sweep as "one of the chief nuclei or knots of a large irregular cluster nebula", this number along with NGC 1936 could also apply to the cluster.
